It is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to GOLDEN ORCHARD MONTESSORI SCHOOL.
One of the most important decisions that you will make as a parent is in choosing the best educational environment for your child.

At GOMS, you will discover a warm, welcoming community. Our school environment and curriculum provide children ages 21/2 to 6 with a life-long love of learning. Our Montessori teachers are certified in using Dr. Montessori's methods and materials to lovingly guide each child in developing unique abilities within a carefully planned curriculum. Our goal is to provide the learning experiences that allow children to develop the skills to become successful learners within the classroom, and more importantly, to develop self-confidence, independence, compassion, and the sense of responsibility to become successful members of society long after their time at GOMS is over.

First-time visitors to our school are invariably impressed with the excitement, self-discipline and self-sufficiency of even the youngest child. Using didactic learning materials designed by Dr. Montessori to be responsive to a wide range of interests and skills, children are encouraged to explore a world of ideas, information, and creativity. The Montessori curriculum stresses an interdisciplinary approach to all learning. Students discover a natural excitement for new concepts and ideas within an atmosphere of grace, courtesy and mutual respect.

Supported by one-on-one guidance from their teachers, students work both independently and in small groups with other children. By providing an environment that specifically addresses each child's individual needs, students at GOMS enjoy an educational experience that enhances self-esteem, fosters the social skills to solve problems and build friendships, and support the ever-increasing curiosity about the world in which they live.

At Golden Orchard Montessori School, we have the unique opportunity to provide young children with hands-on learning experiences that create excitement, enrichment and unending discovery. I invite you to further explore GOMS and all that it has to offer.

Why Montessori ?

Montessori offers an extremely advanced and innovative academic program, supported by over a hundred years of research. The foundation established by the Montessori Method of Education is recognized by child psychologists, developmental researchers, teachers, schools and colleges worldwide.

Among the myriad of benefits derived from Montessori education, below are some of the most recognized:

• Montessori children are: Joyful and creative learners; better socialized and able to solve their conflicts; fluent readers and able to understand advanced mathematical concepts; very independent and posses high self-esteem; respectful of their surrounding environment.

• Children learn at their own pace through individualized and specially tailored lessons, thus securing a thorough understanding of the subject, and a solid sense of confidence and achievement.

• Lessons are introduced in stages starting with simple and concrete, which allows for a comfortable learning pace and instill a sense of success. Throughout the following years, the lessons are then repeated and reintroduced with added levels of abstraction and complexity, without the child being aware of it, thereby strengthening the child's independence, self-confidence and self-esteem.

• The curriculum is organized into overlapping rather than individualized subjects. This approach enables children to study the various aspects and levels of a particular topic over extended periods of time, thus cementing its understanding and avoiding mere memorization.

In order to obtain the full benefit of the Montessori experience, the Montessori curriculum should be introduced in the early years of a child's life (ideally at 18 months of age, but at least by 3 years of age) and continued at least through 6 years of age (which includes the child's kindergarten year).
